Preview the latest Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition images.
The exhibition, now in its fifty-fourth year, showcases some of the best wildlife photography on the planet. This year’s competition attracted more than 45,000 entries from professionals and amateurs in 95 countries.

For this 2018 edition, the winners will be known only from October 16, 2018, date of the announcement of the results. Meanwhile, the Natural History Museum in London has unveiled some clichés of finalists.
The 10 photographs presented in this article, such as the 100 winning photographs selected for their artistic quality and originality, will be exhibited in the London Museum after the end of the competition.

As always, this competition raises awareness among the general public about issues related to the environment and the conservation of animal species. Thus, some photographers do not hesitate to present the cliché of a circus animal on cage, as had done in 2016 Britta Jaschinski, by photographing tigers and lions in full number at Seven Star Park in Guilin, China. The fragility of nature was also highlighted in 2017 in the photo of a young Sumatran tiger rescued while he had the hind leg taken by a collar or that of a seahorse hung on a cotton swab.
